To Be Educational Pillars
A Transformative
Education
Project To Be ensures that the educational projects of all its schools respect the To Be educational pillars as guiding principles of its educational mission and practice: Individualisation, Bilingual and Intercultural Learning, Active and Cooperative Learning and Social and Community Impact.
Individualisation
To Be Schools ensure individual support for the development and learning of all their students and personalised attention for each family.
Our educational services aim to meet the unique characteristics and needs of each child and the expectations of their family.
Individualisation in the teaching-learning process allows all students to achieve the same educational objectives, respecting their pace, interests and learning profile.
Its purpose is to facilitate learning and improve the academic performance of students, who are encouraged to define personal objectives and goals, in an approach to education that recognises and values the way each child learns, their prior knowledge, their skills and their interests.
To Be Schools are family schools, offering welcoming educational environments that value and encourage the involvement and active participation of families, believing that the home-school partnership is essential in the early and quality education of all children.
Active and Cooperative Learning
To Be Schools favour the adopting of active methodologies in the students’ teaching-learning process – project-based learning, cooperative learning, field research, among others.
Active methodologies imply an active role for the student, who is co-responsible for their learning process. They follow the evolution of society, presupposing innovation, flexibility and an inclusive school culture connected with the local and global community.
Project-based learning involves students in creating, problem-solving, decision-making, and investigative activities. Students often work independently and prepare real-life relevant products or presentations, on authentic topics and content, and with clear educational objectives.
Students are challenged to think, experiment, make discoveries, develop skills such as autonomy, responsibility, communication, resilience and critical thinking.
In cooperative learning – carried out in pairs or small groups – students assume different roles and learn to share the knowledge, tasks and strategies that lead to learning with each other.
Cooperation skills – interpersonal relationships – are promoted, which are basic skills that children and young people must acquire as essential tools for exercising full, active and intervening citizenship.
Bilingual and Intercultural Learning
Multilingual skills are recognised as essential skills, which must be developed early to ensure the success of lifelong learning.
Project To Be strongly believes that learning English is an indispensable and facilitating tool in adapting to a globalised world, in the current context of mobility, internationalisation and interculturality.
We have established an educational partnership with Cambridge University, which recognises To Be Schools as reference schools in teaching and learning English.
To Be Schools are Cambridge Educational Partners, implementing an integrative English programme that engages the entire educational community. They are also Cambridge Preparation Centers for English Qualifications, which allows students to take their Cambridge exams on school premises.
To Be Schools invests in the early development of children’s communicative proficiency in English. The English project is implemented by specialised teams made up of teachers and teaching assistants and includes:
- Bilingual learning, through linguistic immersion – Portuguese and English – from nursery
- English classes from preschool
- CLIL Methodology (Content and Language Integrated Learning) from preschool
- English subject with Cambridge curriculum (primary and preparatory school)
- Cambridge Certification– Young Learners Exams (primary and preparatory school)
Project To Be strongly believes that cultural diversity creates unique opportunities for dialogue, learning and personal and social development, recognising that the school is today a reflection of a multicultural society, resulting from global migratory phenomena.
To Be Schools are intercultural and inclusive schools, which respect the cultural and linguistic identities of children and their families, where students acquire the values, knowledge and attitudes necessary for successful intercultural communication, carrying out intercultural learning.
Social Impact and Community
Project To Be gives social impact a central role in its educational mission, assuming its schools as active agents of change in the communities to which they belong, and educating students to exercise citizenship throughout their lives.
In its commitment to sustainability, it adopts objectives in the environmental, social and governance areas, aligned with its mission, vision and values.
To Be Schools include in their Educational and Curricular Projects and in their Annual Activity Plans, events, projects and activities with a social impact, mobilising educational communities and establishing partnerships in local communities.
To Be students participate in projects with effective social impact and are already responsible and enlightened citizens, actively engaged in building a democratic, fair and supportive society and defending a more sustainable planet.
Project To Be advocates a pedagogy for sustainability, which involves the entire To Be educational community and encompasses citizenship education activities and projects with students, sessions for parents, staff training, development of To Be interschool collaborative projects, among other actions.
